Don't quote me on this but I think it's just a color change for each year. My 99' has a purple spring and my 450 has a graphite colored spring. I do know that different spring rates come in different colors but it might just be for the manufacturer to know which spring is which.

No color code action going on, there are purple springs rated at 5.2 and purple springs rated at 4.6, no correlation of color to rate. Whatever the designers felt looks good with graphics and plastic, thats what color the spring is
